Description

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When you select "last 90 days", it will report the latest incomplete period with a broken line, even if it is not ready. This gives a false indication of poor performance, and sure it can be ignored, but "ignoring" bad visual information is a terrible workaround.

Describe the solution you'd like

Offer the user to view the last 90 days where information is complete.

Describe alternatives you've considered
